    Will it be 'fun' for him if he gets beaten and tarnishes his Monte legacy ?

    Loeb re Monte: "I have a lot of good memories; I hope that the 2015 Rallye Monte-Carlo will provide yet another... Obviously, it’s going to be a personal challenge for me."

    Can't say I'm surprised. The WTCC is hardly a huge challenge - FWD saloon cars, with races over 20-30 minutes. Might be different if it was a 6/12/24 hour race in a 450BHP Sportscar.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Plus the fact that he actually has some competition in the WTCC, I'm sure he doesn't like that too much…

    In your star trek universe he might even be depressed after losing Monte next year...

    In the world we call earth i think he will try his best as always and if he finishes the rally in top 5 he will be happy... he has nothing else to prove or to take away from anyone anymore... he tarnished legacies of champions new and old, turned fans into haters and even now that he comes back to have fun the nightmares coem alive for some... so i think he will try his best and have fun, the thing is at the age of 40 and with 2 years out of the sport even the best of all times will not manage to win and he knows that.

    you mean that Ogier and polo/vw with double budget is not competition for him?
    is he so superior?

    The Loeb Love is still strong, I see. Well, we will never know how he would have stacked up against Ogier and VW, will we? Your hero "retired" before we had the chance to see...

    you didnt saw Loeb against Ogier?
    you didnt saw that while he was retired he took 2 rallies with big difference from the super duper polo and vw with double budget? also he lost the other 2 rallies (one from exit of road) while he was some 2-3 seconds beside Ogier at day 3 with some wrong tyre choice at day 1 (when he lost some 12 sec if i remember right)?
    so we saw who is faster and better overall,even when he was retired.
    At previous years there is no question as you know.

    Loeb gave them too many beatings and most of them were on the head... so that excuses the memory loss... forgive them.

    It is a defence mechanism to forget the bad memories... makes life easier... LOL
